Fresh procedure for clone (9)

I believe the answer is:

reproduce

'clone' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fresh procedure' is the wordplay.
'fresh' is an anagram indicator (a fresh re-ordering of the letters).
'procedure' anagrammed gives 'REPRODUCE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for reproduce that I've seen before include "Make a child" , "Procreate or make a copy" , "To propagate" , "Ape" , "Make a copy of (something)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
